Driving through town I realized that I have been more open to unique life activities as of late. I think it's a sign that I'm looking for a story I can understand and embrace.
First, I'm looking into learning to fly a plane. No I'm not going to pitch the next "Wings" TV show. But, it was a strange experience going to a small, regional air field. I talked to a "Mom and Pop" aviation company that taught as well as provided flight services. The "Pop" was half asleep with a chubby and extremely cute baby on his lap. It was so contrary to what I was expecting. I don't think it was the economy - I think it was just a different world. I am looking to schedule my first flight this June.
Second, the storage center. I have long had some fascination with storage lockers. I recently read about storage locker auctions. These auctions have increased in frequency and level of value in recent months. I guess a lot of people store things, but that more and more people are just sort of walking away from their lives. I have been thinking seriously of trying to interview someone who owns or works at a storage center.
The great thing about both of these experiences is how visual and unique they are. I think that many people could be made interested in stories related to these experiences.
